With some delicacy, knowing bis per-

blaine" said he, sis the most popular
leader of his party There is no doubt OF
that. He has about him all of the elements
which attract men to each other. [ take it
to-day that he is the most popular leader
after all in his party, and has a larger per-
sonal following.
DO YOU think Blaine will be the Republi-
can nominee~ | asked.
Il am afraid so. If the convention were
i near at hand. have no doubt of it, In the
convention Blaine will have large and
also a reckless following | can see how his
friends will put the alternative. They will
say not to renominate Blaine will be to adj
NIT all of the sins of omission and commits
sion charged against him, and | think they
would do even more if he is not nominated.
They would quietly do all they could to de-
feat the nominee if it is not Blaine, and the
more especially so if the nominee is John
sherman
Still you think Cleveland cannot be
i elected if nominatedn
4 NO; because he would encounter the
same spirit of hostility within his party
He would encounter it likewise in the State
OF New York, where such disaffection is
absolute peril To elect President, any
